Newsletter Vol.3 No.8 3/3/06

Greetings from Quimper Sound! With the release of two blockbuster titles this week we are going to resume having two new albums on sale all the time. Next week both the new Matisyahu and the new Van Morrison titles will be $2 off! Another exciting new release is Chris Gunn's band the Low Ones. Low-fi and high concept, it is very, very good. It is definitely feast time for fans of new vinyl. We got another batch of good stuff in this week with still more coming next week. Finally, wanted to invite you all down to the shop to hear K Records superstar Calvin Johnson make an in-store performance at 4pm this Monday (the 6th). It'll be nice to hear him do a little work out before his show at the Boiler Room. As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
